US House Takes Action on Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

On the anniversary of the controversial 1973 Supreme Court case legalizing abortion in America, the U.S. House of Representatives acted to ensure tax dollars are not used to end a baby’s life by passing the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act.

“The majority of Americans, whatever their belief on abortion, agree that their tax dollars should not be used to pay for abortions,” said U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady citing a Marist Poll released yesterday which also found that the vast majority of Americans don’t support unlimited abortion on demand, including almost 7 in 10 who identified as “pro-choice.”

“I’m strongly pro-life and grateful my wife and I have a wonderful family because two women in two different, difficult circumstances chose life,” added Brady. “I’m also grateful to the hundreds of thousands of Americans marching peacefully in Washington to remember the tens of millions of American lives lost to abortion.”
